In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans is a safe haven after she's forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent in the middle of the carnival season, Celine is quickly enraptured by the vibrant city, from its music to its fancy soirees and even its danger. She becomes embroiled in the city's glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group's enigmatic leader, Sebastien Saint Germain. When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in Sebastien's own lair--the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks--Celine battles her attraction to Sebastien and suspicions about his guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.
